Focusing on use of camera controls – bring your camera, and be prepared to try things afterwards out in a small project we’ll set you!
For the development group on 7th March. Carol has compiled some pages on camera settings and will show photos that use different settings and their effect on the photo. Then people attending can then form groups to help each other set their camera up to replicate the same kind of photos.

And what a beautiful evening it was.
About 30 members and 19 visitors enjoyed a sausage sizzle and nibbles at our second meeting of the year. We were really pleased that lots of local publicity drew so many visitors, and already seven of the visitors have joined the club.
This evening also saw the first use of our new set of print easels, made for us by Kapiti Menzshed, to show examples of work brought along by members. Alison got all the exhibitors up to introduce themselves and say a little about their images – one of the visitors said later it was the friendliness and variety of work shown that made her decide to join.
Four of the prints shown, with a steam train theme, were the club entry for the Bledisloe Interclub competition – but we won’t show them here till after the judging!

Overall as individuals KCPS members did exceptionally well.
Unfortunately we didn’t get a club set placing, New Plymouth getting first place for their print set and Wellington winning the digital set. There were no other placing’s given for second and third due to the small number of club sets received.
Gavin Klee received the Stratford cup for champion print from the club sets entered into the interclub print competition.
Carol Molineux received the Bruce Harding cup for champion nature projected image entered in the central region individual salon.
Also 3rd place for nature print, a highly commended and a commended.

All entries sent were accepted and shown at the convention salon.
It was a very stimulating programme with interesting speakers. Tony Carter spoke of his experiences photographing the people of Ohura and shared insights in to their lives. We had a telephone link to Scott base in Antarctica following Anthony Powell’s pre recorded presentation so we could ask him questions. He was back down there for the summer season as communications officer. He showed us some delightful footage of problems doing time lapse photography from ice melt (the tripod falling over), to Adele penguins being very inquisitive and kicking the camera.
Other highlights were Jeremy Beckers, David Sinclair and Leith Robertson showing us some stunning low light and astrophotography images. Thomas Busby showed us how he processed some of his award winning photographs in Lightroom which was very educational. We were also enlightened on Drone photography and the increasing regulations relating to the use of these. Trevor Pinfold gave two informative workshops on nature photography and showed us images of his trip to photograph Orangatans in Summatra.
The weather was great for our 5.30 am shoot at the Te Rewa Rewa bridge in New Plymouth. Overall it was a really interesting convention.
